Gordon had long gone to survey those "DT Shadows" and the band were being helped out by Andy Shernoff on bass. The atmosphere in the hall was "party party" with the punters throwing streamers on the stage and dancing like mad. The 'Tones arrived clutching massive illuminated pumpkin heads which they then place around the stage. Indeed, Z-man placed one directly in front of the kick drum and you guessed it, Billy's kit ignited ten minutes into the set. I shall never forget the look of consternation as a security man ran onstage and was held back from the blaze by a gleeful Z. "Burning Hell" indeed. The reason why this show was so damn memorable was because it was the first Super Rock show I had seen in three years and I was totally knocked out when they played two songs which I had sent them six months earlier ("Steam Engine" - the Monkees and "Outcast" - the Animals). Words cannot convey the emotion I felt as Strengo screamed that old Monkees nugget. What a night, what a show, and the cheap little hotel with the blood stains on the bedside table only added to the tawdry ambience of the affair. Other fave shows in no particular order: Barracudas, Milkshakes, Prisoners - Hope'n'Anchor 83-84 Thee Headcoats - The Western Rooms & DWC The Creation - 90s reunion show at The Garage Jessie Hector getting onstage with the Clique at The Western Rooms And a ton of others...

MM tastes like bilgewater, btw. JD tastes like tapwater. Where do a brother go from there? Everclear? Ugh. VSOP? Yes! Anyway, the reason why i'm here: Am looking to trade for copies of Record Collector (UK music zine). Have lots to trade in return (gee, ya think? http://apollojams.com), and i'm hoping someone will bite the bait so i can bone up on my studies. Am hip deep in the 2nd and 3rd level Merseybeat stuff these days. Hey, didja know there was a UK label-orchestrated Mersey "revival" attempt in early 1965, as things started to slow down before the next big wave? As Research into the Unknown goes, it's some fascinating shit. Finding the music is a bitch tho, but i gots all three volumes of the Jap. PRT label's "British Beat Anthology" cd's to keep me warm, for now. Unfortunately, i'm finding a LOT of stuff not compiled yet (?) that i'd like to hear. Whether it sucks or not is immaterial. Ultimately, i'll be the judge, capish? >From here, i go on to the "Rubble" series, but that's a period & a post for another time. You gots "Record Collector" zine, fanboy? Hook me up. Don't TELL me i was the only one who actually subscribed to it during the 80's! Damn. So far, the ONLY zines i've found who get hip-deep in this shit are "The Rock Marketplace" and "Record Collector". Has anyone picked up the torch, however faintly it's burning? Write me OFFline: apollojams@netscape.net still lurking, - - gary apollo! http://apollojams.com PS: subject line refers to something Richard Meltzer belched out to intercept/interrupt the introduction of Greg Shaw at the 1974 RockCritics Symposium, which i just scored on cassette (lucky me, i only ORGANIZED the damn thing! Fuck revisionist history....but Joey's dead and i ain't, so ok/fine, JOE organized it. Whatever.) Poor Greg. I'd a whupped Meltzer's ass FOR him, but i was hoping Lester would do it FOR us. What the fuck do you do when you like BOTH schools? Contribute to the one that's got a mailing list, i guess....)

Subject: Re: Record Player of the future Actually, this has been designed before, around 1982 or so if memory serves. It was based on the linear tracking turntables that were also popular around that time, most of which used laser sensors for tracking -- my Technics linear tracking turntable randomly won't play 7" records. More importantly though, it doesn't work to $56,000 standards. If laser optics are employed, the laser will be defracted by any dirt particle in the record, thereby decreasing quality. To get peak performance from this turntable then, you'd literally need a clean room, and I don't just mean you've picked up your paisley shirts up off the floor. Then again, I guess if you can afford a $56,000 turntable, you can afford to transform part of your 3 car garage into a clean room. Moving into the infra-red area may be better for this, as it would pierce dirt particles. Still, to get that right, somebody would have to do some heavy studies on what kind of dirt particles are commonly found in records (no doubt taking nicotine, dandruff and pot resin into account). I also remember being at the San Francisco MOMA a few years back and seeing an exhibit of home made turntables. One of them was laser driven (playing some old German marches 78 I recall) where the laser was beamed through a syringe about 4 inches over the record. The sound quality was far less than stellar. I'm perfectly happy with my Technics 1200, but if there's money burning holes in your pockets, I bet you'll get better sound quality out of something in the $1-3000 range.

I'm sure some people wouldn't care, but I think it sucks. Also, the labels look as if somebody re-drew the Harvest logo with a magic marker....crappy. I should have known better, I've vowed to stay away from reissues that boast of "added bonus tracks" and it's incorporated into the original artwork (The Get Back! Label being an exception). I've seen the Saints record advertised as "semi-legit" but I'm positive it's as boot as they come. My recommendation is to stay away unless you don't have these songs in any other format. While we're on the subject of reissues and boots, does anybody know what the deal is with Get Back! Records? They seem to have licensed a zillion classic punk and psych records. I've scoured the net for a label discography and have come up empty handed. Anybody have any info? Are they completely on the up and up?

Subject: Re: austin/electric lounge this was a great show, and i saw many other great shows there, but i say good riddance to the elec lounge. the layout of that club was great, but i can't begin to relate all the nightmares i had both playing that club and attending shows there. more often than not they'd charge more at the door than they advertised. they paid bands embarrassingly little money (one time we filled in an unadvertised show as a favor to the club and got some friends from san antonio to drive up and play w/ us and they tried to pay them $20!). i also saw them turn the PA off on bands at the end of the night to make them get offstage, and once almost got into a fistfight w/ a soundman onstage (when we were actually playing a benefit!). funniest thing when they had the big fire there that kept the place closed for 4 months -- the fire was caused by a short in one of the refrigerators. other guitarist in my band pointed out the irony: "that's funny -- i can't remember ordering a beer there that wasn't lukewarm as soon as they handed it to me." things at that club got to the point where most of the cool bands in austin wouldn't play there, and sadly, when cool bands did there were so many people who absolutely refused to go there the bands would be playing to an empty house. joe - ------------------------------ > 3. ? and the Mysterians, Electric Lounge, Austin, March '99.

A good show is any show where Iggy takes off his pants, which is just about all of 'em right? I saw Nirvana's first show at COCA in Seattle, not that anyone cares. I didn't pay them much attention at the time, definitely didn't think they'd end up where they did. I was lucky to see one of the last show's Roy Orbison played just a month or so before he died. Now I always try and see the old legends when I can, just in case it's their last performance.

I remember reading about this technology via newsletter outta Japan about 3 or 4years ago. The reason the price was outrageous was that the creators couldn't get a company interested enough to invest into it. I finally got to see it at an audio tech convention in Vegas 2 years ago. It was pretty amazing but received little if any interest from anyone there. They demo'd it with records that were wrecked minus condition and they played beautifully although I was told back then that the sound that was delivered was digital quality, so it did sound a bit tinty (like CD's sometimes do). It would be hilarious if such a thing caught on and were mass produced, suddenly all record lists would'nt have to list condition because they all would play mint. Weird thought. Oh, one thing, the laser arm was stiff and could not be easily moved.
